Written specially for this album and for the Japan tour although it's too difficult to play live! Also a very personal song
lyrics
Eyes Upon The Throne
Bring out your dead, bring out your dead,
I’ll wager my grief for your disbelief that we will have to part this day,
Now bow your heads, now bow your heads
And watch our footsteps washed away
Beaten and corroded by the tides
The very ground you walk on seems to opens wide
Who’d trade an eyeful for an eye
But every place I run and hide she still tears off my disguise
Rrrrip dip do daa, rrrip dip n day
Sitting in dirt with one eye upon the throne
Rrrrip dip do daa, rrrip dip n day
Etching your name in stone with broken bones
Bring out the rest, Bring out the rest,
So rest my eyes don’t wish to see you wading in the waters deep
Off with their heads, off with their heads,
Lost my head in open skies
Wasted time catching falling knives,
The very ground swallows up every tear you cry
If only I could slow the hands of time,
I’d give you every second back, so I could leave you as I found you,
Rrrrip dip do daa, rrrip dip n day
Sitting in dirt with one eye upon the throne
Rrrrip dip do daa, rrrip dip n day
Etching your name in stone with broken bones
